Start-up and operation
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-handed
safety switch. The machine works only when the switch
on the steady grip (Figure 1 / Item 3) is pressed with
one hand and the switch on the handle (Figure 1 / Item
5) is pressed with the other hand. If either switch is
released, the cutters will stop moving.
Rear swivel handle
(see Figs.4/5)
The hedge shears are fitted with a rear swiveling handle.
This can be turned through 45° and 90° both counter-
clockwise and clockwise. Pull the slide (4) in the
direction indicated by the arrow and turn the handle.
Pull the slide (4) in the direction indicated by the arrow
again to return the handle to its original position. When
the handle is back in its standard position the top slide
must be pushed forward to lock it.
The handle should be turned through 90° for
cutting vertically.
In so doing, please check the running of the blades.
Please check that the blades function correctly. The
blades cut on both sides and run in opposite directions
to each other, for guaranteed high cutting performance
and quiet operation.
Fasten the extension cable to the cable holder before
starting to use the machine (see Fig. 6).
For use in the open air you must only use extension
cables certified for the purpose.
